What do you really hate about mobile networks!

ha! Yeah, they are there to seduce the impulse buyer into a lovely new handset for a bit less per month than the 18 month contract.
Trouble is: I'd wager a large number of people want a new phone after a year or so, and so are gutted when they are stuck with a 2 year old handset. (disclaimer for patrice: I said "a large number", not "patrice" or "everyone") 
Also, if you tot up the amount you're handing over in 24 months, you could have bought a handset sim free and called the shots a bit more.

Had a depressingly long argument with a callcentre lady (in Phillipines) about why I wanted my PAC and didn't want any of the exciting "3 months free x or y" that T-mobile was suddenly offering.

My main phone is on 3UK and is worth about £350, because 3 is a 3g network, 2g backup is slowly being eradicated. My phone HTC Hero has no 2g option so I had to use my £50 Samsung B3310 without dropping a call with my Giffgaff simcard.
